The DOLLS Awards of Excellence (DAE), also known as the Diamond Awards, is accepting entries for the 2013 competition through March 7, 2013. The Diamond Awards recognize and encourage excellence in the design and creation of dolls.

Photos of all the entries are reviewed by an esteemed panel of judges, who evaluate each submission on overall aesthetic appeal, excellence in concept, design, and execution, and quality of material and workmanship; the highest-scoring creations in each category receive the DAE Industry’s Choice Awards and become the nominees for that year’s DAE Public’s Choice Awards. DOLLS readers then vote for their favorite nominee in each category to determine the Public’s Choice winners.
